路加福音 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
百夫長的信心
7 耶穌向眾人講完道後,進了迦百農。 2 當時,有一個百夫長很賞識的奴僕病了,生命垂危。 3 百夫長聽說耶穌的事,就託幾位猶太人的長老去請耶穌來醫治他的奴僕。 4 他們便來懇求耶穌,說:「這位百夫長值得你幫助, 5 因為他愛我們的同胞,為我們建造會堂。」 6 耶穌就跟他們去了。
快抵達時,那百夫長又請幾位朋友去見耶穌,對祂說:「主啊,不用勞駕,我不配讓你親自來我家。 7 我自認不配見你的面,只要你一句話,我的奴僕必定康復。 8 因為我有上司,也有部下。我命令我的部下去,他就去;要他來,他就來。我吩咐奴僕做什麼事,他一定照辦。」
9 耶穌聽了這番話,感到驚奇,轉身對跟從祂的百姓說:「我告訴你們,就是在以色列,我也從未見過有這麼大信心的人。」
10 派去的幾位朋友回到百夫長家裡,發現那奴僕已經痊癒了。
寡婦獨子的起死回生
11 過了不久[a],耶穌去拿因城,隨行的有門徒和一大群人。 12 耶穌快到城門口時,從城裡走出一隊送殯的人,死者是一個寡婦的獨子,有許多城中的人陪著她。 13 耶穌看見那寡婦,憐憫之心油然而生,就對她說:「不要哭!」 14 隨即上前按住抬屍架,抬的人停了下來。耶穌說:「年輕人,我吩咐你起來!」 15 那死者就坐了起來,並開口說話。耶穌把他交給他母親。
16 在場的人驚懼萬分,把榮耀歸給上帝,說:「我們中間出了一位大先知!」又說:「上帝眷顧了祂的百姓!」 17 有關祂的這消息傳遍了猶太和附近地區。
施洗者約翰的疑問
18 約翰從自己的門徒那裡獲悉這些事後, 19 就叫了兩個門徒來,派他們去問主:「將要來的那位就是你嗎?還是我們要等別人呢?」
20 他們找到耶穌,便問:「施洗者約翰派我們來請教你,『將要來的那位就是你嗎?還是我們要等別人呢?』」
21 那時,耶穌剛治好了許多患各種疾病和被鬼附身的人,又使許多瞎子得見光明。 22 耶穌便回答說:「你們回去把所見所聞告訴約翰,就是瞎子看見,瘸子走路,痲瘋病人得潔淨,聾子聽見,死人復活,窮人聽到福音。 23 凡對我沒有失去信心的人有福了!」
耶穌稱讚施洗者約翰
24 約翰的門徒離去後,耶穌對眾人談論約翰,說:「你們從前去曠野要看什麼呢?看隨風搖動的蘆葦嗎? 25 如果不是,你們到底想看什麼?是看穿綾羅綢緞的人嗎?那些衣著華麗、生活奢侈的人住在王宮裡。 26 你們究竟想看什麼?看先知嗎?是的,我告訴你們,他不只是先知。 27 聖經上說,『看啊,我要差遣我的使者在你前面為你預備道路。』這裡所指的就是約翰。 28 我告訴你們,凡婦人所生的,沒有一個比約翰大,但上帝國中最微不足道的也比他大。」
29 眾百姓和稅吏聽了這番話,都承認上帝是公義的,因為他們接受了約翰的洗禮。 30 但那些法利賽人和律法教師沒有接受約翰的洗禮,拒絕了上帝為他們所定的旨意。
31 主又說:「我用什麼來比擬這個世代的人呢?他們像什麼呢? 32 他們就如街頭上戲耍的孩童——彼此呼叫,
『我們吹娶親的樂曲,
你們不跳舞;
我們唱送葬的哀歌,
你們不哭泣。』
33 施洗者約翰來了,禁食禁酒,你們就說他被鬼附身了; 34 人子來了,又吃又喝,你們就說,『看啊,祂是個貪吃好酒之徒,與稅吏和罪人爲友!』 35 然而,智慧會在追求智慧的人身上得到驗證。」
罪婦的悔改
36 有一個法利賽人請耶穌到他家裡吃飯,耶穌應邀赴宴。 37 那城裡住著一個女人,生活敗壞。她聽說耶穌在那法利賽人家裡吃飯,就帶了一個盛滿香膏的玉瓶進去。 38 她站在耶穌背後,挨著祂的腳哭,淚水滴濕了祂的腳,就用自己的頭髮擦乾,又連連親祂的腳,並抹上香膏。
39 請耶穌的法利賽人看在眼裡,心想:「如果這人真的是先知,就該知道摸祂的是誰,是個什麼樣的女人,她是個罪人。」
40 耶穌對他說:「西門,我有話跟你說。」
西門答道:「老師,請說。」
41 耶穌說:「有一個債主借給一個人五百個銀幣,又借給另一個人五十個銀幣。 42 二人都沒有能力還債,這位債主就免了他們的債務。你想,哪一位會更愛債主呢?」
43 西門答道:「我相信是那個被免去較多債的人。」
44 耶穌說:「你判斷得對!」隨後轉向那女人,繼續對西門說:「你看見這女人了嗎?我到你家裡來,你沒有拿水給我洗腳,這女人卻用她的眼淚洗我的腳,還親自用頭髮擦乾。 45 你沒有親吻我,但我進來以後,這女人卻不停地吻我的腳。 46 你沒有用油為我抹頭,這女人卻用香膏抹我的腳。 47 所以我告訴你,她眾多的罪都被赦免了,因此她的愛深切;那些獲得赦免少的,他們的愛也少。」
48 耶穌對那女人說:「你的罪都被赦免了。」
49 同席的人彼此議論說:「這人是誰?竟然能赦免人的罪!」
50 耶穌又對那女人說:「你的信心救了你,平安地走吧!」

Luka 7
Neno: Bibilia Takatifu
7 Yesu alipomaliza kuwaambia watu mambo haya alikwenda Kaper naumu. 2 Huko mtumishi wa jemadari mmoja wa Kirumi ambaye bwana wake alimpenda, alikuwa mgonjwa sana, karibu ya kufa. 3 Jemadari huyo aliposikia habari za Yesu aliwatuma wazee wa Kiyahudi wakam wombe aje kumponya mtumishi wake. 4 Wale wazee walipofika kwa Yesu walimsihi sana amsaidie yule jemadari wakisema, “Mtu huyu anastahili msaada wako kwani 5 yeye analipenda taifa letu, tena ametujengea sinagogi.”
6 Hivyo Yesu akaongozana nao. Hata alipoikaribia nyumba yake, yule jemadari aliwatuma rafiki zake, kumwambia Yesu, “Bwana, usijisumbue kuingia nyumbani kwangu. Sistahili heshima kubwa kiasi hicho, 7 wala sikuona ninastahili mimi kuja kukuona binafsi. Sema neno moja tu na mtumishi wangu atapona. 8 Katika nafasi yangu ya kazi nina wakubwa wangu na wapo askari wengine chini ya mamlaka yangu. Nikitoa amri kwa askari, ‘Nenda!’ huenda; nikimwambia mwingine, ‘Njoo!’ huja; na nikimwambia mtumishi wangu, ‘Fanya hiki,’ hufanya.” 9 Yesu aliposikia maneno haya alishangaa sana. Akawageukia wale watu walioongozana naye aka waambia, “Hata katika Israeli yote sijakutana na mtu mwenye imani kama hii.” 10 Na wale waliotumwa kwa Yesu waliporudi nyumbani kwa yule jemadari walikuta yule mtumishi amepona kabisa.
Yesu Amfufua Mtoto Wa Mjane
11 Baada ya siku hiyo, Yesu alikwenda mji mmoja uitwao Naini. Wanafunzi wake na umati wa watu waliongozana naye. 12 Alipokaribia njia ya kuingia mjini alikutana na watu wal iobeba maiti wakitoka nje ya mji. Marehemu alikuwa mtoto wa kiume wa pekee wa mama mmoja mjane na umati wa watu wa mji ule ulikuwa pamoja na huyo mama. 13 Bwana Yesu alipomwona yule mjane moyo wake ulijaa huruma, akamwambia, “Usilie.” 14 Kisha akalisoge lea lile jeneza akaligusa na wale waliolibeba wakasimama. Ndipo akasema: “Kijana nakuambia, amka!” 15 Yule aliyekuwa marehemu akaamka, akakaa na akaanza kusema! Yesu akamkabidhi kwa mama yake.
16 Watu wote wakajawa na hofu. Wakamtukuza Mungu wakisema, “Nabii mkuu ametokea kati yetu. Mungu amekuja kutuokoa sisi watu wake.” 17 Habari hizi za mambo aliyofanya Yesu zikaenea Uyahudi nzima na sehemu za jirani.
Hakuna Aliye Mkuu Kuliko Yohana
18 Wanafunzi wa Yohana Mbatizaji walipomweleza Yohana habari hizi zote aliwaita wawili kati yao 19 akawatuma wakamwulize Bwana Yesu, “Wewe ndiye yule ajaye, au tumtazamie mwingine?”
201 Walipofika kwa Yesu wakamwambia, “Yohana Mbatizaji ametutuma tukuulize, ‘Wewe ndiye yule ajaye au tumtazamie mwin gine?”’
21 Wakati huo huo, Yesu aliwaponya wengi waliokuwa na magonjwa, maumivu na pepo wachafu. Pia akawawezesha vipofu wengi kuona. 22 Ndipo akawajibu wale wanafunzi waliotumwa, “Nendeni mkamwambie Yohana yote mliyoyaona na kusikia: vipofu wanapata kuona, vilema wanatembea, wenye ukoma wanapona, viziwi wanasikia, wafu wanafufuliwa na maskini wanasikia Habari Njema. 23 Amebari kiwa mtu asiyepoteza imani yake kwangu.” 24 Wanafunzi wa Yohana walipoondoka, Yesu akaanza kuwaeleza watu juu ya Yohana: “Hivi mlipokwenda nyikani mlikwenda kuona nini? Nyasi zikipeperushwa na upepo? 25 Kama sivyo, mlikwenda kuona nini basi? Mtu aliyevaa nguo za fahari? Sidhani! Watu wanaovaa nguo za fahari na kuishi maisha ya anasa hukaa katika majumba makubwa. 26 Sasa mlikwenda kuona nini? Mlikwenda kuona nabii? Naam! Tena aliye mkuu kuliko nabii. 27 Huyu Yohana ndiye anayezungumzwa katika Maandiko yase mayo: ‘Tazama, namtuma mjumbe wangu akutangulie, ili akuandalie njia.’ 28 Nawaambia, kati ya binadamu wote, hakuna aliye mkuu kumzidi Yohana. Hata hivyo aliye mdogo kabisa katika Ufalme wa Mungu ni mkuu kuliko Yohana. 29 Watu wote waliosikia maneno hayo, ikiwa ni pamoja na watoza ushuru, walimtukuza Mungu kwa kuwa wao waliukubali ubatizo wa Yohana. 30 Bali Mafarisayo na wanasheria walikataa mpango wa Mungu kwao kwa kutokukubali kubatizwa na Yohana. 31 Yesu akawau liza, “Niseme nini juu ya watu wa kizazi hiki? Niwafananishe na nini? 32 Wao wamefanana na watoto waliokaa sokoni wakijibizana na wenzao wakisema: ‘Tuliwaimbia nyimbo za shangwe, hamkucheza. Tuliwaimbia nyimbo za msiba, hamkuomboleza.’ 33 Yohana Mbatizaji alikuwa akifunga na hakuonja divai maishani mwake, ninyi mkasema, ‘Ana wazimu!’ 34 Lakini mimi nakula na kunywa, nanyi mnasema: ‘Mtazameni mlafi na mlevi! Rafiki wa watoza kodi na wenye dhambi.’ 35 Lakini hekima ya Mungu inadhihirishwa kuwa kweli na wote wanaoipokea.”
Mwanamke Aliyempaka Yesu Manukato
36 Farisayo mmoja alimwalika Yesu nyumbani kwake kwa chak ula. Naye akaenda akakaa ale chakula. 37 Katika mji ule palikuwa na mwanamke mmoja kahaba. Naye aliposikia kuwa Yesu atakula nyum bani kwa yule Farisayo, alichukua chupa ya alabasta iliyojaa man ukato 38 akaenda, akakaa nyuma ya Yesu, karibu na miguu yake. Kisha akaanza kulia, machozi yake yakidondokea miguuni mwa Yesu, akayafuta kwa nywele zake. Huku akimbusu miguu na kuimiminia yale manukato.
39 Yule Farisayo aliyemwalika Yesu alipoona yanayotendeka, akawaza moyoni mwake, “Huyu mtu hawezi kuwa ni nabii. Kama ange kuwa nabii angetambua kuwa huyu mwanamke ni kahaba.” 40 Kisha Yesu akijua mawazo ya yule Farisayo akamwambia, “Simoni, kuna jambo nataka kukuambia.” Simoni akajibu “Sema, mwalimu.” 41 “Palikuwa na mtu mmoja aliyewakopesha watu wawili fedha: mmoja shillingi elfu tano na mwingine shillingi mia tano. 42 Wote wawili wakashindwa kulipa madeni yao, kwa hiyo akaamua kuwasamehe. Unadhani kati yao, ni yupi aliyempenda zaidi yule aliyewasamehe?” 43 Simoni akajibu, “Nadhani ni yule aliyesame hewa deni kubwa zaidi.” Yesu akamwambia, “Umejibu sawa.” 44 Ndipo akamgeukia yule mwanamke akamwambia Simoni, “Unamwona mwanamke huyu? Niliingia nyumbani kwako hukunipa maji ya kunawa miguu, lakini huyu ameniosha miguu kwa machozi yake na kunifuta kwa nywele zake. 45 Hukunisalimu kwa busu, lakini huyu mwanamke amekuwa akiibusu miguu yangu tangu niingie hapa. 46 Hukunipaka mafuta kichwani kama ilivyo desturi lakini huyu mwanamke ameipaka miguu yangu manukato. 47 Kwa hiyo nakuambia, upendo mkubwa aliouonyesha huyu mama unathibitisha kuwa dhambi zake ambazo ni nyingi zimesamehewa. Lakini ye yote asamehewaye kidogo, huonyesha upendo kidogo.”
48 Akamwambia yule mwanamke, “Dhambi zako zimesamehewa.” 49 Ndipo wale wageni wengine waliokuwepo wakaanza kuulizana, “Hivi huyu ni nani, hata aweze kusamehe dhambi?” 50 Yesu akam wambia yule mwanamke, “Imani yako imekuokoa; nenda kwa amani.”
Luke 7
New International Version
The Faith of the Centurion(A)
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this(B) to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(D)
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(E) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(F) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 They were all filled with awe(G) and praised God.(H) “A great prophet(I) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(J) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(K)
Jesus and John the Baptist(L)
18 John’s(M) disciples(N) told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(O) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(P) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?(Q) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God(S) is greater than he.”
29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.(T) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(U) rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine,(V) and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(W) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(X)(Y)
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,(Z) he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet,(AA) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(AB) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(AC) but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AD)
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;(AE) go in peace.”(AF)
